On September 22, 2020, about 1520 central daylight time, an Ayres Corporation S2R-T45, N3298M, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Jackson, Tennessee. The commercial pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 137 aerial application flight.
The pilot reported that he was spreading crop seed on a field about 150-200 ft agl when the engine lost all power. He continued over a subdivision and looked for a place to land the airplane. He selected a road between trees and a powerline. He attempted to slow the airplane as much as possible prior to the forced landing. The airplane stalled about 10 ft above the road, the airplane touched down hard and the landing gear collapsed. The airplane slid on its belly until the left wing struck a tree and the airplane came to a stop.
An inspector with the Federal Aviation Administration responded to the accident site and examined the wreckage. Structural damage to the forward fuselage and both wings was noted.
The wreckage was retained for further examination.
